Who can use this?

  • Who: Teachers and co-teachers
  • Plans: All plans
  • Where: The Match submissions screen, which opens on its own after an upload of more than one file or a batch scan

​
Limits and notes

  • Nothing is graded until you select Confirm & grade. Closing the screen discards your matches.
  • Two files can’t share a student. If a student already has a submission, the new file replaces it and the row says so.
  • A student who isn’t on the class list yet can be added from the row.

​
Confirm the matches

1

Read the screen

Each row is one file: a thumbnail, the file name, Detected: and the name GradingPal read from the file or its name, a confidence pill [1], and a student dropdown. The summary above the list counts how many rows are ready and how many still need a student.
2

Trust the green rows, check the amber and red ones

The pill tells you how sure GradingPal is.
3

Fix a row

Open the dropdown and pick the right student. To add someone who isn’t on the class list, choose Add new student at the top of the dropdown, check the first and last name, and select Add student. To leave a file out, select the skip control on its row; Undo brings it back.
4

For a batch scan, fix the pages if needed

Select Adjust pages [2] to move pages between submissions, or Re-split to read the scan again from scratch. Split one scan into many submissions covers both.
5

Confirm and grade

Select Confirm & grade N. The screen closes, a toast says N submissions added — grading started, and the rows appear on the Submissions tab in AI grading.

​
How to tell it worked

No row says Needs student, the summary reads N of N ready, and Confirm & grade is live. If it’s greyed out, the text beside it says why: rows that need a student, rows that share one, or pages not yet assigned.

​
If something goes wrong

The row says “No name detected — open the file to check”. Select the thumbnail to see the file, then pick the student.
Both rows turn red: “Also assigned to” the other file. Choose a different student on one of them, or skip the duplicate.
The amber note says the new file will replace it. That’s usually what you want for a resubmission; if not, pick a different student or skip the file.
Before grading finishes, there’s nothing to undo. Once graded, open the row’s menu and select Reassign student. Reassigning is blocked once the work has been shared.
